“ This place is such a gem! Please visit and enjoy the drinks, food, and lovely people (both customers and staff). Lots of options for dairy free, gluten free, etc. Prices are great too. They speak English and are so helpful. They also take cards (visa etc)! ”
“ I’ve been to this cafe three times since I’ve been here, the ambiance and setup of this cafe is relaxing and beautiful, they have a large coffee menu with a variety of special coffees and a variety of food options. The women that work here are very friendly, and they take card. They also have takeout containers to take food and coffee to go, which I really appreciated! The baking here presents incredibly professional and high quality such as tarts and quiches and muffins and tastes equally as good! I’m a big fan of quiche and this was one of the best I’ve had. ”
“ This is a lovely cafe. Hours are 8-1 & 5-9. Young woman entrepreneur serves cafe drinks and smoothies as well as delicious waffle combinations and freshly baked pastries and quiches. She is also bilingual for all the CA and USA folks having a tough time learning Spanish. They accept cards (a rarity in La Cruz) and cash for payment and the prices are very good. And, it is always service with a friendly smile. Outdoor seating. ”
“ Wow! The perfect place for breakfast and a coffee. The young lady speaks perfect English and her little helper who delivers your food is very sweet. Avocado toast with fried egg (“tartine”) was delicious and well prepared. Healthy options, delicious smoothies, and exceptional coffees (caramel latte, cappuccino etc). ”
“ What a perfect little spot. The ambiance is sweet and so quant. I have had espresso every day for the last five days here. I love everything about it. Also, the coffee and pastries are perfect and not overly sweet. Zianya is the epitome of kindness. Such a sweet, sweet soul! If kindness had a poster child it is her. Make sure to check it out if you visit La Cruz. ”
“ Cute little coffee shop on a side street in LA Cruz, Nayarit, Mexico. Excellent cappuccino and very friendly service. Highly suggest. ”
“ A super cute cafe that is run and owned by an amazing woman! Staff was friendly and quick to help, food and drinks were great (mixture of cookies, pie, coffee and tea were ordered) and the ambience was so fun. The only disappointment was that we discovered the place on the last day of our trip! ”
